What is the best Lollipop based ROM so far that you have used ? Majorly in terms of battery.
Rom make very little difference on battery. If you're having battery issues concentrate on your wake locks. Get gsam or bbs to figure out where you're having issues. There are a number of battery threads here that can help you.

"Best" ROM.
There is no such thing as a best ROM.* The question itself is*ambiguous.* "Best" is obviously a subjective term.
What I want from a ROM may well differ from what you want from a ROM,*ergo - what is best for me could be worst for you.
If you are asking what the most popular ROMs are, or which ROMs people*are using, you can see which threads stay around on the first few*pages (and have the most posts) in the*Android*Development or*Original*Android Development forums. You can also see what other people*are running by reading the*What*are you running on your Nexus 5 thread.
If you are asking which is the most stable, being a Nexus device -*they're all pretty stable.
If you are asking which is best on Battery, ROMs only affect battery*if they have a feature that is badly coded.* You will likely be able*to read about this in the ROM threads.* ROMs do not impact battery*life.* The only impact to battery life are your apps, your settings,*how you use the phone and mostly, environmental issues such as Phone*Signal.

"Best" Kernel
Also, please note that as above, "best" is still subjective.* What we*all want from a kernel is different. Again, many people have the*misconception that Kernels affect battery life.* Let's get this*cleared up.* Although Kernel devs will build in optimisations and*efficiencies that will improve battery life, these are very, VERY*tiny...and if 1 kernel has these optimisations, they likely all have.
People will often say "Kernel x is better than kernel y for battery*life".* This is actually wrong. *Kernels respond to user settings.*Setting up the governor to favour either battery life or performance*is simple enough to do, you just have to do some learning.* The reason*people think Kernel x is better than y is because developers set their*kernels up with their preferred governor settings.* This is what we*refer to as out-of-the-box settings.* The out-of-the-box settings for*kernel x may well produce better battery results than the*out-of-the-box settings for kernel y, which favour performance.* The*fact is, you as the user have the ability to tune kernel x or y to*perform the same, be that battery or performance - so start learning*how to do this yourselves - that way, you can choose the kernel based*on the FEATURES you want, and not the fictional performance benefits*of one kernel over another.

I've been using the nexus for a while, and although I like the stock rom, is CM11 better? Or any other rom in fact? And I guess when I say better I generally mean performance and possibly battery life? Would a kernal also affect this?
Sorry if I seem naive or anything. Recently switched from an ATT S4 with all its bootloaders and such..

The biggest thing is some of the customizations you can get with something like Xposed. A kernel might change things. You can always make a backup.

You should add the following to the end:
[THREAD CLOSED]
CM and other ROMs that have SuperSU baked into the system (as opposed to have it installed as an app that shows up in the app drawer) can have difficulties with apps that won't work due to being rooted, and often times the apps you can use to temporarily block/hide root access won't work properly with SuperSU baked in. That's the big reason why I stopped using them. It's simpler to just root stock Android and use xposed modules that can replicate 95% of what CM brings to the table.

Also, there is no such "ROM and kernel combination", a ROM is a ROM and a kernel is a kernel. They're completely separate.
